Odell Gramps Oatmeal Stout


Odell Roots Release Gramps Oatmeal Stout. Odell Brewing Company, Fort Collins, CO. 6.4% alc. by Vol.

Appearance: solid black, with ruby edges, under a short, cocoa-toned head.

Aroma: Bittersweet at first, with chocolate, oats and cream coming through next. Cocoa and oats grown stronger with each sip. Rich cocoa flavor continues to fill the mouth. Roasted malts have hop bitterness to match. This is one satisfying stout. Yum.

Hey, what's it say on the label? "Inspired by our small-batch pilot system, the Roots Release series honors our experimental brewing roots and invites you to sample some of our favorites. Flaked oats and roasted malts give Gramps a full body and creamy smooth mouthfeel. Hints of chocolate, coffee and cream combine for a complex yet familiar taste of breakfast back home"
